8.5 Coat Condition

Coat condition is an observable output of skin-sebum handling, energy regulation, ingredient state, and long-term upstream food structure.

Coat shine, texture, smoothness, flatness, and shedding pattern are output variables—not direct proof of nutrient deficiency by default.

Backtrace through energy regulation, Fat Freshness Boundary, Ingredient State, and the sebum system. No effect guarantees.

Surface lubrication and follicle state.

Long-term energy scheduling context.

Digestive-to-systemic fat delivery.

Local Skin Environment and grooming load.

Dull coat, excessive shedding, or texture change are backtrace entry points—not standalone deficiency or allergy proof.
